The city is easy to reach from any part of the world and there is a shuttle flight service available from Los Angeles LAX airport to Santa Barbara Municipal Airport at nearby Goleta. There is an Amtrak station, or if you wish to come by road US101 is the only major highway that leads to the town.
Catalase converts the harmful byproduct of metabolism, Hydrogen Peroxide, into water and oxygen. It also oxidizes toxins in the body such as formaldehyde, alcohols, phenols and formic acid.
Liver and other living tissues contain the enzyme catalase. This enzyme breaks down hydrogen peroxide, which is a harmful by-product of the process of cellular respiration if it builds up in concentration in the cells.f the cells did not break down the hydrogen peroxide, they would be poisoned and die. In this lab, you will study the catalase found in liver cells. You will be using chicken or beef liver. It might seem strange to use dead cells to study the function of enzymes.
